A LOCAL Nursery Worker has picked up a prestigious award at a glitzy ceremony in Glasgow

Nadine Muir won the Best Nursery Practitioner category in the Scottish NMT Nursery Awards 2016 and Nadine, from Stevenston, was delighted to pick up the gong.

Nadine, a Practitioner in the 2-3 age room at Treetops Nursery in Irvine, said: “I am delighted and a little bit shocked to have won the award –especially in such a hard category and up against tough competition! 

“I feel really overwhelmed and honoured – but the best bit is how proud and excited my boys and girls are that I brought the trophy home to them.”

Winners of the Scottish NMT Nursery Awards 2016 were presented with their trophies by Edward Reid at the high profile Gala Night held on Friday, September 2 at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel, attended by 400 guests.
